Topic: SHOW AND TELL--Your Blocks (20/54) - The Quilt Show Forum

Welcome, Guest

"Afternoon Delight" was one of Sue Garman's favorite patterns. This wonderfully scrappy quilt is truly a delight to make with its combination of simple appliqué and Double Nine-Patch blocks and modified Shoo Fly blocks. Each month you will work on pieced and appliquéd blocks, and in the final month, you will assemble the blocks and add the outer border. The finished quilt measures approximately 86 1/2" inches square.

Let's use this Topic "Afernoon Delight Show and Tell" as a place to show off your beautiful blocks. That way, you know where to come to see what everyone is doing.

The topics that apply to each month are a good place to ask questions or make suggestions for each block.

AND when you post your photos to Social Media, like Instagram, Facebook, etc., use either of these hash tags so everyone there will be able to find our wonderful work:

I use Plastic Templates and you have to baste around the outer circle and pull tight around the template and press. I'll have to experiment with plastic templates and aluminum foil. I like the applipops but hopefully I won't be making that many circles in the future.

Ckewing3901, I just saw your post and like you, I am always looking for a easier or better way to do something,
I googled making applique circles, and the first one I saw I had never seen before. Not probably for really small
circles, but it looks like something I will try. Sarah Fielke uses a cardboard circle on wrong side and tin foil on the other side of the cut out fabric circle
pinches the tin foil around the circle with the cardboard and then irons. It came out nice and perfectly shaped. If she had sprayed the fabric with
a little starch it would even have a crisper

edge. I took a screen shot of some you may want to google and watch. HelenW

Ckewing3901 OFFLINE Posts: 34 Thank you received: 82	June is finished. I know lots of participants got theirs done early; I'm just thankful not to be finishing on the last day of the month. The remaining double nine patches are in the works as well. Yea! Any pointers on getting rounder circles (berries) are appreciated! I've tried needle turn and starch basting.

Yes I’m aware of that Barbara. For me it came out of not really keen on the appliquéd blocks. I was firstly going to do some that I liked (when surgery can start again I have to have both big toes fused and I thought it would get done then). But then I decided no. I have three epp projects that I’m currently working on plus knitting and I decided that would be enough.

And I’m pretty happy with my decision.
